Panic-buyers flood grocery stores and commuters are begged to stay home ahead of 'historic' blizzard that threatens to drop THREE FEET of snow on New York City and up to 57million on East Coast

Huge lines were pictured in food stores and warnings flooded in to stay home amid snow falling at 4inches per hour

Bill de Blasio warned New Yorkers not to 'underestimate' the storm, which could drop 36inches in places

Snowfall expected to be accompanied by hurricane-strength winds blowing at up to 65 miles per hour

New York governor Andrew Cuomo warned commuters to go home early as roads and the subway could be closed

The National Weather Service has issued a warning for the East Coast covering 29million people

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said 'This could be a storm the likes of which we have never seen before'

Boston is expected to get 18 to 24 inches of snow, and Philadelphia 14 to 18 inches

"...if we are talking during winter, it would seem that the garage and refrigerator would provide enough insulation from the sub-freezing temperatures to keep the beer chilled...

Well Friend, I live in Houston, and our hurricanes (and thus power outages) normally occur in the warmer months. Even in the winter it only drops to around 32 at night and warms during the day, so it is not great weather to keep frozen foods frozen. Our contingency plan involves cramming the fridge and wrapping it in a blanket.

Yes, frozen beer explodes if it is in glass. Cans just expand, but they lose their carbonation. I just make black and tans with those.

Best little graphic.

Sorta “chickenlittle”-like; “sky is falling, sky is falling”.

Us too. I don’t get this “we got to have milk and bread” deal every darn time it rains or snows!! Dudden people go to the store and buy on a regular basis??? When we buy, we stay ahead enough to be able to have to sit out a couple of weeks and not starve. I can live without a gallon of over priced milk, and my wife knows how to bake bread!

Well 2-3 feet of wet snow is no joke. Especially when you live on top of a hill with a 1/4 mile driveway that scares the crap out of people because it is so steep.

So I don’t concern my self with milk, bread and eggs. My concerns are snow chains, sand, a hot woodstove and a nice sharp chain on the chainsaw for the trees that come down across my road.

Keep in mind the audience. They have never seen temps over 98 degrees either.

I wonder when the pictures of empty store shelves will show up in the media.

[Kartographer]

You would think so, but watch and read close to half the the post on this thread will be about how it is nothing, nothing to be prepared for and laughing at those who urge or practice preparedness.

What good’s a severe weather event without French Toast?

RE :”” OMG, NYC has never seen three feet of snow before. The end is near. “
.....
Actually, I believe it has, but who cares? May it all fall on the mayor.”

That was sarcasm. NYC has seen way more snow than this in the past.

If something like that blizzard hits my town, I’ll be grateful for my bit of firewood and extra cans of food I have stored. I won’t have to stand in line, if I can help it.

[stephenjohnbanker]

I thought so too. My it all still fall on the mayor.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

That might be enough feet of snow to reach the moon.
